Product details
Hop-Maar Insecticide by Parijat
Pymetrozine 50% WG for brown planthopper in rice (paddy).
Crop and pest: Brown planthopper in rice (paddy).
Action: Systemic and translaminar feeding inhibition against nymphs and
adults.
Spray placement: Direct the treatment towards the plant base, where brown
planthoppers feed.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🎯 Brown-planthopper focus: A targeted rice
use against brown planthopper rather than a general treatment for every hopper species.
-
🍃 Systemic and translaminar activity: Movement within plant tissue and across leaves supports the feeding-inhibition action.
-
🛑 Feeding disruption: Interferes with the
feeding behaviour of susceptible brown-planthopper nymphs and adults.
-
🌾 Base-directed treatment: Clear placement
guidance helps put the foliar spray where the target pest is active.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Plant-tissue activity: Pymetrozine has systemic and translaminar movement after application to the crop.
-
Feeding coordination disturbed: Group 9B action affects sensory organs involved in insect movement and feeding, disrupting normal
feeding behaviour.
-
Nymphs and adults stop feeding: Susceptible brown planthoppers cease feeding and subsequently die from starvation rather than
requiring an immediate knockdown response.
Feeding inhibition is not a promise that every hopper will disappear immediately. Monitor the crop after
treatment, and do not treat a change to another Group 9B brand as a different mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
Brown-Planthopper Threshold & Base-Directed Spray
Within the complete pack-directed programme, plan treatment at early booting when brown planthopper reaches the
economic threshold of 8–10 hoppers per hill. Set the product quantity, water volume and harvest interval from the supplied Hop-Maar
label before mixing; the pest threshold does not replace those directions.
Apply uniformly in the early morning or late evening and direct the spray towards the plant base. Start with
the field borders and work from outside towards the centre to limit hopper movement out of the treated area.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Check the pest and threshold: Identify brown planthopper and inspect hills at early booting. The stated treatment trigger is 8–10
hoppers per hill within the complete label programme.
-
Calibrate for the field: Measure the area and match the label’s product and carrier quantities rather than calculating a tank dose
from container size.
-
Prepare the WG for spraying: Disperse the measured granules in water using the pack’s mixing instructions and maintain agitation
while spraying. This is a spray formulation, not a dry broadcast treatment.
-
Reach the plant base: Direct spray into the basal part of the rice plants and aim for uniform coverage.
-
Choose time and sequence: Spray early morning or late evening, treating borders first and then moving from outside to inside.
-
Keep repeat use bounded: If a second treatment is needed and permitted by the pack, leave at least 10–15 days between sprays. Do
not exceed two sprays per crop, and observe the harvest interval after the final treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which rice pest does Hop-Maar target?
Brown planthopper, including its nymph and adult stages. Do not assume the same programme covers all rice
hoppers or leafhoppers.
2. What is the first-treatment trigger?
Early booting, when brown planthopper reaches 8–10 hoppers per hill, within the complete crop-specific
directions on the supplied pack.
3. Where should the spray go?
Towards the plant base, with uniform coverage. Spray the field borders first and then work from outside
towards the centre, preferably early morning or late evening.
4. Should I expect instant knockdown?
No. Pymetrozine acts by disrupting feeding, with susceptible insects subsequently dying from starvation.
Check crop and pest response instead of judging the treatment only by immediate visible mortality.
5. Can I repeat it at a fixed weekly interval?
Do not use an automatic weekly programme. If a second spray is needed and permitted, keep at least 10–15
days between sprays and no more than two sprays per crop, while following the pack’s harvest and other restrictions.
